But to tell you the truth what I really thought was more valid in his lecture was the fact that when he finished his masters at the Royal College of Art and found himself unemployed. Then, he told that one of his projects that he developed at the RCA received some media attention and from that everything started.
He also said that he is not too much into do bicycles but many of his projects are related with bicycles and transportation because it was the opportunities that was offered at that time and was a way to start. Even projects which seems good to do as nike projects, he is conscious that they are not sustainable and has just visual appeal, but sometimes it may be done in order to do some great projects as bikes for disabled children which he also developed. His speech looks very reasonable and close to and how things works in the real world.
